 Topic: longest losing streak for the giveaway
Posted: Feb/26/2009 at 3:01pm |
|
Curious who wants to whine about never winning the giveaway ... I've been here for about a year and a half and log in about 50% of the days ... never won ... that means about 200 logins ... anyone else have a sob story to share?

I'm not a whiner, but I login every day at 3pm, I won a sweatshirt in a bonus give away way back when I first joined, but nothing on the normal give aways....so it's been quite a while...

Hahaha..
My luck isn't any better.
I joined in March last year, and I always log in around 2:45PM.
All I won was a $5 beanie back in October, which was actually quite extraordinary because I don't know when the last time I won any sweepstakes.
I was hoping I could get a free board as my first board.
Finally, I gave up and bought myself a setup.
Perhaps I am saving my luck for bigger sweepstakes, like $100,000 car or a house :p
May I get the biggest whiner trophy now?

does their pick depend on time of membership, point value or anything else? or is it just completely random

i joined over 2 years ago, and i have never won the daily giveaway. i
have won things before by earning it through reviews and stuff, so you
guys still have a chance.

I think all the names are there, but it randomly chooses how long to spin and how fast

I won after a month on the site, and I wasnt even trying to win, I was just writing a few post in the forum and got a message saying I won a 20$ giftcard, not the best prize, but hey, better then nothing.

I've been here for a long time, going back to the days when Sierra only hosted giveaways one in a blue moon. So I don't know, I don't care if I don't win, and I have been here long enough to really not care about the giveaways. I look at it as this way, I can easily buy whatever is given because sierra sells it at a price where they are literally giving it away for free. As for the shop people winning, again I don't care much about that either because in one form or another they "shop" on sierra. Their contributions is what makes sierra give things away in the first place, not people with X amount of posts, not someone that was here for 2 or 3 years. It's the people that put their hard earned money buying stuff. And if they get something for free, then I look at it as a thank you from Sierra.

I am on here almost everyday and have not won. I don't really care much either. If someday I win cool but I'm not gonna cry over it. And like Jeff said the shop accounts don't bother me. Just cause they don't post in the forums or bother to make a name doesn't mean they don't deserve to win either. They are spending money here which is the reason Sierra is here in the first place.If I want something I will buy it. If I win something then hey it is a bonus that I wasn't counting on.

I thinkI've been logged in every day for the last 6 months, nothing. But I guess the odds are usually around 1/600, so in 2 years, I should win one
